It’s been a while since I wrote on any of the blogs, and have to admit to being neglectful. I really don’t have an excuse, as I’m not working or anything.

I have been writing though, and reading as much as I can. I’m rather obsessive about reading, and if the story is good I just can’t stop reading until I reach the end, or the last of what has been written. Lately my reading has been more focused on time travel stories. I prefer the re-do type, especially if they include part of TDH (The Deathly Hollows) but omit the Epilogue, or have Harry and Ginny divorce. Never liked the pairing, and was very disappointed that in TDH Rowling got them together, but it’s done, and thank good for fanfiction since I can read other outcomes.

I also got a bit distracted with the Soccer World Cup. I’m not that much of a soccer fan, but a world cup is always an interesting event, so I managed to pry myself from either reading or writitng (yep I’m still writitng more about it ahead) to watch many of the games. My team (Mexico of course) did not make it beyond quarters, but it was OK, at least they made it that far. Frankly I was not expecting them to win against Argentina. Our history with that team is not good, but at least we began the game in good spirits. Too bad the referees made such a mistake, that broke the team’s concentration, and us back home disenhearted. The referees haven’t been doing a good job either, what they did to England, rob them of a honest to God wonderfully executed goal was shameful. Hopefully FIFA will finally allow the use of techonology to review plays when it doubt, much like they do in Americal Football.

Well, soccer half-rant out, I have to say that I haven’t stopped writing.

I’m still trying to get a story out, and get the muses back to what I already posted in Fanfiction.Net. I really don’t want to abandon them even after years since I posted anything new. So far I’ve been able to write something of chapter three for Unexpected child, as well as chapter nine for Apprentice. I could post them, but I want to have more done before I do. It’d be cruel just to post one chapter and then let many months -or even years- pass before another update.

I have a really large number of what I call story bunnies done. The current lists is about 100 of those I have named No Titles, and nearly as much as those named Untitled. You might be wondering as to the difference between them. Well, No Titles are in those where I’m working a romantic relationship between Harry and Severus, and contain (or will) mature themes. Most though are not slash though.

While I love to read Snarry, for some reason it’s not easy for me to write it. It really gives me trouble, and I find that frustrating. Very much so. To counter that, most of my stories use a gender change, whether it’s Harry who ends a girl, or Severus. Yes, Severus. There are not many Severus as a female stories, and how I wish there were. I’ve read about two or three only. So I’m working on adding to that number.

I have more than ten story bunnies all several pages long. One of them is already of epic proportions (note wise at least) that I have named Arkenstone. It does contain a couple of controversial themes, and while not completely original, one at least hasn’t been overdone. Petunia molesting Hary. Unfortunately it’s still on paper, waiting to be typed. I’ll get to it eventually.

Another thing I have been wiritng about lately is the re-do type of time travel, but this one from King’s Cross, you know a third choice for Harry. In most it also includes a choice for Tom’s soul. I’ll probably be posting part of some -No Title 071 and No Title 090- on Animealam’s Writing Corner soon. No Title 071 is actually the base for many of the new Story bunnies I’ve been working on. You could say they are spin offs of that story.

There are also a couple of the challenges at Potions and Snitches that I’m working on. I’ll post the challenge later, probably in Animealam’s Writing Corner.
